I think everyone who rides considers themselves bikers, its what all the other bikers may think.

Like the bmw or gold wing rider who does over 20k miles a year will look down on the giuy on a blinged out gsxr who only rides to bike night to look cool.

Most people think we are insane to even be on a bike. I think that's what makes us motorcyclists. Insanity.
Apparently for most it's about feeling superior to someone else... Bikers are cooler than non-bikers... HD riders are cooler than sportbike riders... Sportbike riders are cooler than HD riders... People who ride tens of thousands of miles every year are cooler than those who ride around the block once a month... Riders who ride across the country to a rally are cooler than the guy who doesn't have a job flexible enough to do that AND enjoy the rally.

At least, that's what I'm getting out of this thread. For me, it's a passion for motorcycles. The machine you decide to put between your legs is as insignificant to me as what flavor of ice cream you like. The gear you wear or decide not to wear is as insignificant to me as the color of your shoestrings.

I love bikes... I love to look at bikes... I love to ride bikes... I love to talk bikes... I love to tinker on bikes... I love to dream about bikes... I like 'em all to some varying degree... can't say as I've ever seen a bike that didn't intrigue me in some way or another... Then again, I'm certainly not cooler than anyone... and my unwillingness to shit on someone else for their bike/gear/riding style is further proof of that I guess.

Fucking this.

Except Publix Premium brand Key Lime Pie ice cream is the superior flavor of ice cream. The key lime pie flavor, mixed with swirls of vanilla ice cream and chunks of graham mixed in make it the flavor that exceeds all others. I will also accept Ben and Jerry's Boston Creme Pie ice cream.

Jesus Christ, you want a hug too? Or, just the cookie?

No cookie thank you... I just get incredibly annoyed when people think they are better than other people... especially when they clearly are not.
